A Petrifed Honeycomb.

a bout ten years ago, A. NJ. Gray of
Boston, was travelling about the coun-
try. seeking To recover his health,
which was feeble at that time. He
was ut one time at OcOnto, Wis, aad
there he meandered about considerably
through the fields.
One day, in climbing over stone
wall. a stone upon which he had rest
ed his hand fell to the ound. Its pc.
culiar appearance attracted his atten-
lion, but. although he examined tclose-
ly. he could not make out what it WAS.
In shape II was oval. about the size of
an ordinary stove cover, and four in-
ches thick.
This stone he took with him, and
upon reaching Washington in the

New Society Craze in Paris.

In Paris, reigning social sensation
is a series of negro balls. They are
under the patronage of several ladies
of noble blood from Zanzibar and
Ethiopia. The dark-hued contingent
Of Partisan society Is numerous one.
and contains many families of rank
and wealth. The supposition is that
only persons Of negro blood are invited.
AS matter of fact, however, nearly
half of the guests ale white. But all
sach h9ve to stain their faces black for
the time being. These disguised revel-
ers are persons of the best standing in
French society. Indeed, personages no
less than Prince Waldemar and his
bride, Amelia d'0rleans, attended the
first of the series, Their faces were
stained II r!ch brown, so that they look
ed like rather dark quadroons. Sever.
al cavaliers of The Due de Morny's set
attend all these gatherings with wool
wigs over their natural hair.

The Grave Responsibility.

When George w. Cleveland is asked

Democratic cherry treeg" he will
doubtless respond. II cannt tell lie-
II must have been Augustus Garland"
But when the ancient and more or less
honorable democracy are not easily de-
cived, an investigation will show that
the weapon used for the destruction is
in Mr.. Cleveland's hind coat pocket; but

further, and with lofty assumption Of
innocence, Indeed, | cannot tell n lie

70 THE DrMooRAr1C STATE CONVENTION

The Democratic State Convention which
convenes at Allentown on next Wednesday
10 place In nomination candidates for the
several State offices TO be voted for at the
coming fall election will act wisely and dis
play judicious regard for the interests of
the common people il il nominates for
Judge of the Supreme Court the Hon. w.
NJ. Rapsher, of Mauch Chunk, Pa, man
in whom is embodied the essential qualifi-
cations necessary for so important posi-
tion. Democrats who have at heart the
welfare of party cannot help but realize the
importance of putting in nomination for an
Office which so closely concerns the poor
people, man whose every interest goes out
to the common people; such a man will be
found in Hon. W. NJ. Rapsher, who has al
ways been identified with movements tend
ing to the elevation and betterment of the
condition of the masses. Bnt not this
alone, political justice demands the recog-
milton of candidate from the solid old
tenth legion which has not been recognized
on the State ticket since the days of the
late Judge Asa Packers nomination for
Governor, twenty or more years ago. In
consideration then of the fact that the nom
ination of Mr.. Rapsher would spur the
Democracy on to more determined and
vigorous action and consequent larger ma
jorities the duty of the convention is APP
parent. They will not overlook the fact
that the demand which issues from this
section is spontaneous outburst of senti-
ment which calls for the nomination of a
man who has left corporate monopolies Sc
verely alone and whose ideas are modified
to meet the contingencies of complicated
questions of law which constantly arise by
virtue of the intricate manner in which the
affairs of corporations are conducted. OF
all corporate powers there are, perhaps,
none more complicated than the anthracite
coal interests of Pennsylvania, and no class
of laborers have felt more severely the in
justice of oppression than have the coal
miners of this region. AS matter OF hui
man justice then, man should be nomin-
ated for the Supreme Judgeship who is
tcdtL duh ooui WIN, ohN WIN
understands correctly the difficulties of the
anthracite coal miners, such person will
be found in Hon. w. NJ Rapsher, of whom
an anthracite coal miner once said: "In
such bold and fearless champions of the
rights of labor as Rapsher must the toilers
see their chance and condition in society,
so that even those who are plunged into
the depths of poverty and oppression may
take courage"
With all due respect for the candidates
for Supreme Court Jndge we would ask OF
the Democratic State Convention, to con
yene at Allentown on Wednesday, care
full, impartial and logical consideration Of
all the efacts-geographical location, emin-
ent fitness of the candidate and the de
mands of the people--and we feel confident
that Mr.. Rapsher will be the nominee OF
the Democratic party and the next Supreme
Court Judge.
The demand is spontaneous and issue:
from the masses; ard the Democracy car
not well disregard 1t.

repose which is the reward OF an honorable
and we'll spent life, The women whe were
present had no complaint to make about
the impedimonts thrown in the way Of
their sex. Never in any public body have
they received greater honor or distinction,
and il is only just to add that they got on
more than they deserved.
Stocks have been having rough exper-
ience, almost all of the gilt-edge securities
being affected by the general trouble. IL
is evidently a speculator's fight, the gem
eral public having very little interest in the
row. Several times in the past few weeks
few countrymen in search OF rapid for
tunes have tried a flyer, but those who
went for wool generally came back shorn,
and now the dogs are eating each other,
there being nothing else leftto feed on.
An addition to the interest of the week
has been the doings of the different branches
of the Labor party, which now promises TO
be as numerous as the sands on the sea
shore, or the stars in the milky way. We
have the Union Labor party, and the
Union Labor party, which, by the way, is
not very much united, but at the present
writing is much in the condition of the
Kilkenny cats. Then there are the Knights
of Labor and the Knights of Industry.
Three seperate branches of Socialists who
are not at all social, and four divisions Of
Anarchists and Nihlhsts ready at the drop
of the hat to blow up all creation, and
then cut each others throats at the close of
the fifth act. In prospective we have a
mighty pretty fight in sight, and il is hard
to tell who will come out on top, but
will venture this, IL won't be Henery George.
The McGlynn craze ls.petering out; Anti
Poverty has spent all the thousands 1t has
collected footing its horns for George and
McGlynn meanwhile the wolf howls at the
door of thousands of our poor and this
week there have been fifty eyictions in this
city, where the old, the sick, the MANNED,

the street with barbarty hardly equalled

THE Democratic State Convention will
be held at Allentown next Wednesday,
Aug. 3lst. The delegates and friends of
Mr.. Rapsher have engaged suitable rooms
at the Hotel Allen for the purpose of open
ing headquarters next Tuesday 10 push his
candidacy for Supreme Judge. We may
say that his friends are In receipt of en-
couraging letters from all parts of the State
and in some eases they make unqualified
pledges TO support him. From the present
outlook II seems probable that there will be
anywhere from six 10 dozen candidates
ON the first few ballots for supreme Judge.
We call upon the Democracy Of Carbon
county 10 be on hand aud report al Head
quarters for duty In lull force. Il is our
duty aud everyone can do something foI
the cause. To say the least. Mr.. Rapsher'
chances 20 make the nomination are al this
writing fully as good a. those Of any OF the
distinguished men named for the position.

In seems to be the prevailing opinion
with many of our country and metropolitan
contemporaries that the Carbon Democrats
60 in for unadnlterated free trade, nothing
more or less, when the true facts are that
they only want thorough tariff revision
all reductions being made on such articles
as affect the living of the poor. The Dem
ocratic National Convention of 1884 prom
ised this to the people, consequently they
are looked to for the fulfllment of the
promise, as upon it greatly depends the re-
suit of 1888.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1887-08-27

TROUBLE Is anticipated in the ranks of
the Democracy unless the old board of
commissioners are renomlnated. This in
an indisputable truth which every Carbon
county Democrat will acknowledge. A
failure to renominate Messrs. Coll and
Arner will be an acknowledgment that the
Board has not fulfilled the pledges made by
the Democracy to the people; consequent
loss to the majority party will ensue and
the final ressslt is obvious. Is it not fact?
